You’re missing my point.
Radio waves are all around us and in use 24/7. The number of cell towers sending and receiving microwaves have grown enourmously in the past two decades. (I knew of someone who died because of microwaves in the U.S.Navy - not a nice way to go, either. Took nearly two days for him to die.)
It is silly to freak out over a transmitter on an electrical meter.
You really have to try to get killed by microwaves, at least from radiation. If you mess with high power waveguides you could receive a burn or shock injury.
There was a case of GE technicians in Alaska working on the FPS-49 who were near the feed horn for over an hour and had their livers destroyed. That was a very painful way to die. The injury was due to thermal effects. The body does not have internal heat sensors, the FPS-49 is relatively long wave, L-band and it cooked their livers before they knew happened. That is why we have have “lock out, tag out” these days.
How did your friend ever get a lethal dose of microwaves?
